I was an employee of the Geneva Lake Museum over the summer, but that should not take away from the praise and high regard I have for the museum. While on the backend of the museum, we could be a bit chaotic, the museum is very well layed out, clean, just a wonderful time. Everyone who works at the museum is very friendly. I highly recommend getting a docent to lead a tour. When I was docenting, I found that more people would tell us that this was the best museum experience they have had than if they did not have a docent. It is fantastic to take children to; they are allowed to touch most things, go into the exhibits, ring bells, and just really get immersed in the history. If course, adults can do all of the things that children are allowed to do! Visiting this museum has to be number one on any list of things to do in Lake Geneva. Look at the pictures I have posted to get a feel of the museum.

Dont judge a book by its cover. On the outside this museum does not look impressive. But dont let that fool you. Its a great place to spend an afternoon for the family. Love the fact that everything is hands on for the kids, but dont worry moms theres nothing dangerous for little ones to touch. Even the knife in the kitchen was blade-less. Thanks for the great tour!

Awesome little museum right off the main road. Everything inside the museum is donated and authentic! Its also called a living museum, so feel free to get hands on, just be gentle!

A wonderful way to spend a cold and rainy day! Lean about the history of Lake Geneva, while seeing all the great artifacts that they have available for viewing!
